My first goal met!
My highest weight was 347. But when I started my pre op diet I was Down to 324. By DOS I was 306. Today 299. I haven't been in the 200s in years. I know at this size nobody is going to see the weight loss but it feels so good to get rid of the 3 on the scale! I'm feeling like Wonder Woman

Checking in at blossom for my surgery
Well here we go. I got so nervous that I went on a pre surgery shopping spree at Macy's lmao!! Couldn't sleep last night and I keep thinking I just dropped 400 on cloth that I won't be wearing in a few months. I'm stressing on small stuff like my pedicure or lack of it and how dry my skin feels w/o lotion and potions and lord above the lack of deodorant. So I guess I'm a little scared and deflecting. Time to go to what really works for me to release fear Prayer and meditation
